Marriage Extension Renewal, Khon Kaen November 2021.

[MartinL]

Renewed my Marriage Extension (No. 12) at KK IO yesterday Money-in-the-Bank method.

 

A bit of a wait but, once our turn arrived, all went smoothly despite a small extra requirement.

 

Previously, they only wanted copies of passport data page, original visa and entry stamp associated with it, current extension and last re-entry permit.

 

This time, they wanted copies of data page and ALL pages with any sort of stamp on them.

 

All dealt with without any fuss (IO even copied and printed the pages while we sat there), quick signature and we were away. Checking documents took less than 15 minutes.

You caught 'em in a good mood.  Hope your luck holds out.

With the list of documents required for the marriage extension, I note you have stated 400K in the bank for three months.  My understanding is 2 months.  Is this a typo or do Khon Kaen have different requirements to the normal rules?

3 months is for renewal, 2 months when applying for the original.

It has been 2 months for all extensions for a lot of years now.

Only retirement extensions had the 60 days for the first extension and then 3 months after that until March of 2019 when the changed it to 2 months for all extension applications.

Wrong.

2 months every time.

I changed earlier this month from marriage to retirement.

Saved me about 140 print outs, two ink cartridges,a trip to the amphur and another trip back to KK to pick up passport.

The IO was also happy with the decision.

You are correct, my bad, I always transfer my annual survival amount over 3 months beforehand and use those funds for my extension, better safe than sorry, than confused and in trouble.

This is because they charge 5 baht per photocopy.

They copied my pages - 5 of 'em, A4 - and asked for ...................... 0฿ (Zero baht), which I was quite happy to give them. Even got the 100฿ change from the 2000฿ I gave them to pay for the 1900 ฿ extension.

Probably because the officer that always used to forget to give change no longer works there.

we had to do the same thing for the renewal last week in Surat Thani, every passport page but only 2 months for the money plus one month waiting for the approval, only took us an hour all up as well

You're wrong too. Same IO we've dealt with a number of times over the years. Always offers any change and occasionally she gets to keep it.
